A Life of Luxury

This lesson takes your students inside the world of extreme wealth, private jets, and outrageous purchases, creating a space for lively discussion and fresh vocabulary. It’s designed for B1 learners who want to move beyond small talk and speak confidently about money, lifestyle, inequality, and the environment. The tone is modern, relevant, and perfect for adult learners who enjoy real-world topics. ✨

Students begin with warm-up questions about billionaires and luxury lifestyles before learning useful vocabulary like astronomical, discrepancy, emissions, hangar, and offset. They immediately put this language into action through clear pros and cons structures and cause-and-effect phrases, helping them express opinions more fluently in debates and discussions. 💬

The lesson’s interactive centrepiece is a “luxury price match” quiz featuring real items sold for unbelievable amounts of money. It always generates surprise, laughter, and genuine curiosity, keeping learners fully engaged. Afterward, students dive into provocative discussion prompts on wealth limits, private jets, and sustainability, using the new language naturally and confidently. 🛩️

To round things out, the class watches a short TED Talk about private aviation and climate impact. This gives learners authentic listening practice and a thought-provoking conclusion that ties the whole theme together. 🌍

This lesson is ideal for teachers who want something current, conversation-driven, and genuinely fun to teach. It boosts critical thinking, introduces fresh vocabulary, and keeps learners talking from start to finish. Perfect for adults, business English groups, and anyone who loves a “you won’t believe this” moment.

Enjoy!
